"Project Power" premieres Aug. 20 on Netflix. The film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jamie Foxx as a cop and former soldier that team up to investigate a dangerous pill that grants temporary superpowers.
Netflix released its list of films and TV shows coming to the platform in August and the lineup sports a slew of original content, including the highly-anticipated superhero movie "Project Power."
The film premieres on Aug. 14 and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jamie Foxx as a cop and former soldier that team up to investigate a dangerous pill that grants temporary superpowers. The superpowers are unique to each individual user, ranging from invisibility to bulletproof skin. Though, some users have a more violent reaction to the superpower pill.
The film was directed by Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost ("Catfish," "Nerve") and written by Mattson Tomlin ("The Batman"). It also stars Dominique Fishback, Machine Gun Kelly, Rodrigo Santoro, and Courtney B. Vance.
Additionally, the streaming giant will premiere its coming-of-age dance film "Work It" on Aug. 7. "Hoops," an animated comedy following a foul-mouthed high school basketball coach voiced by Jake Johnson ("Jurassic World," "New Girl"), will debut on Aug. 21. Documentary fans also will be happy to see the addition of two docuseries "I am a Killer: Released" and "Immigration Nation."
Netflix also will host a variety of critically-acclaimed films, including "Being John Malkovich," "An Education," and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." For those looking for a little more action, the original "Jurassic Park" trilogy and "Oceans Twelve" will hit the platform this month. Other fan favorites available include "Les Misérables," "The Addams Family," and "A Knight's Tale."
